Neighbours have told how they were “driven to despair” by their neighbour who was jailed after breaching a court order by making “loud sex noises”.

Gemma Wale, from Small Heath, was given a two-week prison sentence after a civil court judge concluded that she had breached the order by “screaming and shouting whilst having sex” at a “level of noise” which annoyed a neighbour..

One former neighbour of Wale’s at a former address described how the community had been driven to despair by her behaviour.

The woman, who asked not to be named, said: “There were men going in and out of her flat all the time.

“Then she would sleep all day. It was the worst two years of my life.

“All the neighbours banded together to get her out.

“I lost count of the number of times I had to knock on her door at 3, 4, 5 o’clock in the morning.

“We complained to the police, social services and the council.

“It took the council a good year to do anything about it. It doesn’t surprise me she ended up being jailed. She deserved it.

“She drove us all to despair - I have never had a neighbour like her.”

In the ruling the judge did not give Miss Wale’s age in her ruling but said she had a boyfriend called Wayne.

Judge Kelly said the anti-social behaviour order had barred Miss Wale from making “loud sex noises”.

The order had also barred her from causing nuisance by playing loud music, shouting, swearing, making banging noises, stamping and slamming doors.

The judge concluded that she had also breached the order by arguing with her boyfriend, swearing at a neighbour, “banging around the house” and “running around in the property”.

She imposed separate two-week jail terms on Miss Wale for each breach but said all terms would run concurrently.

Judge Kelly said another judge had imposed an anti-social behaviour order in January.

She said she had analysed allegations that the order had been breached at a hearing in May.

The judge indicated that Miss Wale lived in a property owned by Birmingham council and said she had heard evidence from a council housing officer and one of Miss Wale’s neighbours. It is now understood that Miss Wale has left the property.

Judge Kelly said a neighbour had complained that at around 5am on January 29 “paragraph 3 of the order” had been breached.

“Gemma started screaming and shouting whilst having sex, which woke us up,” said the neighbour. “This lasted 10 minutes.”

The judge concluded: “I am satisfied that during the course of the early hours of 29th January 2015, at around 5am, the defendant was guilty of screaming and shouting whilst having sex at a level of noise which caused nuisance or annoyance to (a neighbour).”
